From 1999 until 2017, The Link published weekly on each Tuesday. In the spring of 2017, The Link and its members voted to transition to a monthly magazine format, and the first issue was published on September 5, 2017. This later changed back in September 2022, The Link reverting to a tabloid format—albeit biweekly.
The Link's mandate is to publish stories not usually covered by mainstream media, and the publication specializes in advocacy journalism.[2] Contributors cover stories about student life, as well as local, national and international issues of interest to the Concordia and Montreal communities.
Its revenue comes from a student fee-levy and both print and online advertising.
